Don't use port 222, it's already reserved for something else.  Use a port above 
1024.  On my box, setting the port to 2322 in sshd_config makes the daemon stop 
listening on port 22; I get rejected immediately if I try to connect on that 
port.  Just for fun, I set the port to 222: nmap says something is listening on 
that port but I can't seem to connect.  But since that port is reserved for 
another purpose, I suggest just staying away from it.
